4 Memorable Beauty Ideas For Un-Boring Brides

There's nothing wrong with choosing a really classic updo or simple makeup look for your wedding day, but if you're the type who'd prefer to walk down the aisle in something people haven't seen 100 times before, try one of these more unique wedding-day beauty ideas.

Trade the tiara for a crown or headband made of golden leaves, like Milla Jovovich did for her wedding. It's more ethereal while still making you feel like a princess for the day.

Weave intricate braids and twists into the back of your updo, like Kristen Bell did on the red carpet. You can still have a classic, simple look in front, but this will make your updo stand out from all the rest.

Wear a wedding ponytail. Who says ponies are only for casual occasions? This gorgeous poufy one, which I long ago bookmarked in "Brides" magazine, looks completely dressy (and completely non-predictable).

What do you guys think of these wedding beauty ideas? Are any appealing to you? Do you want to be very classic with your hair and makeup or do something people haven't seen many times before?
